I would suggest that if a health care professional requires more
documentation than what is in Tom Hale's book, Auerbach and Riordan,
Lawrence, etc,  he or she can  do a MedLine search.

NLM's search service to access the 9 million citations in MEDLINE and
     Pre-MEDLINE (with links to participating on-line journals), and other
related
     databases. http://www4.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/

I for one am continually amazed at those who demand documentation with
regard to breastfeeding (this is fine by itself) , and who then practice and
give incorrect information without any documentation whatsoever.  For
instance, today I have had two instances where a health care provider has
refused to treat a mother for Candida, but who didn't bother to check the
medications that I suggested ( from Jack's ointment concoction).  He just
said "no," "I can't prescribe that."  ACK.
